problem with new slashdot.org design - Debian

This is a discussion on problem with new slashdot.org design - Debian ; Dear Debian-Kde'ers
would you have also a problem with the rendering of the new slashdot.org
design in konqueror ?
I described the problem here:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128738
here is a copy/paste:
================================================== ============
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Platform: unspecified
Reporter: Christophe Prud'Homme
...

slashdot.org just changed its design. konqueror has problems
showing it properly:

1- some of the menus on the left are aggregated at the top left of
the page
2- if the window is resized, then the menus appear properly at
their rightful place.
3- if the windows was resized and menus ok, and I click on a new
menu item, the same problem described in (1) occurs and I need
to resize like in (2) to correct it.

Since the rendering bug gets fixed when the konqueror window
is resized, my conclusion is that it is a konqueror bug.

Well, according to konqueror developers the design is really buggy, and it's
the site's fault, but they will try to workaround the bugs to get it
displayed properly.

Re: problem with new slashdot.org design

Has anybody ever dared contacting slashdot to encourage them to make their
site valid (X)HTML? www.w3.org contains megabytes of argumentation in favor
of good design..

Best,

I think that's a mistake. The slashdot.org site maintainers are the
ones who made these errors, it is up to them to fix them.

We can rule out "ignorance" on their part, so it's either apathy or
arrogance.

For information, there's a discussion about the new slashdot design bug in
kde-devel mailing list.

Re: problem with new slashdot.org design

This merits a slashdot on its own. I will convey that information.
Did you know that a large part of the huge browser code is just
error-correction for this kind of buggy sites? This way, we'll never be able
to read slashdot on a mobile phone.

Re: problem with new slashdot.org design

I don't exactly what happens (I will try without javascript)
but opera sends a non-existent html-page to the validator. The message of the
validator is:
Result: Passed validation
File: default.htm
Encoding:iso-8859-1
Doctype:HTML 4.01 Strict
